Classified as a "terminal facility," it's the end of the line for delinquents who have no home, no family, and no future. His latest incident sends his opponent to the emergency room, and now the court is sending Carl to the worst place on earth: Phoenix Island. He can't seem to stay out of trouble-using his fists to defend weaker classmates from bullies. A champion boxer with a sharp hook and a short temper, sixteen-year-old Carl Freeman has been shuffled from foster home to foster home. But on Phoenix Island, the choice will be made for him. The judge told Carl that one day he'd have to decide exactly what kind of person he would become. For fans of The Bourne Identity, Alex Rider, and Melissa Marr.
